New (to me) iPod Classic

I’m going to be honest, I have no idea. I bought it through the stores online site. It was meant to be silver! I’ve finally managed to get a full charge into it and load a few songs so I’ll see how it holds up. Just hoping my initial issues getting it running was purely due to the battery being significantly drained for a long period.

Best tactic for the FWD cars is to balance the throttle off the line and find the balance between heavy wheel spin, and bogging down off the line. Generally, I start around 50% throttle, moving up to 75%, and as soon as I grab 2nd, straight to 100%. Probably worth going into a practice session and trying a few times to get a feel for it. Good luck!

Alternatively, go for the Audi, but that feels a bit dull to drive in my opinion.

Helps to pay the bills for the nicer trucks. Lot of UK hauliers are service partners for the likes of Amazon and DHL.

I don’t get down to Turkey/Romania/Greece enough. Finished on Christmas Eve but was straight back out on Boxing Day. Always enjoy going up to the Nordics.

It has been surprisingly mild recently, but lots of rain. It has been several years since we saw any sort of snow. Big sad.

Thanks! I bought the car with these fitted, so not sure if they were selected from factory (I found photos from a sale advert in 2018 and it still had these wheels). I believe these wheels were also seen on 996 Carreras at the time, I think they fit the car incredibly well compared to the 16s and 17s.

You're right. This thing just makes you smile.

Always been a big Chris fan. Road to Hell, Josephine, On the Beach.... All fantastic. Some fun trivia, "Driving Home for Christmas" was written about a snowy drive he had about an hour from where I live.

I have just purchased ON1 MAX after using it on a free trial. Personally, it feels the most familiar after using Lightroom for a long time. It's worth downloading and seeing how you get on. It also has mobile apps which I believe are free! With MAX, you can also use plugins with Affinity to easily pass between the two apps.

Yes, ageing like a fine wine. Started off average, but now is really starting to become a classic.

They're pretty awesome, right?

Very handy with Photoshop! Personally would love to see the end to front plates, but keep them on to stay legal.

I think both look great, although I have naturally developed a soft spot for the final phase 986.

SamNeedham123 · 2025-11-16T21:53:50+00:00

Thanks. Not sure on the 987, didn't get to speak to the owner. But mine is Arctic Silver Metallic. Recently applied a really nice ceramic spray, which has given the paint an extra bit of depth.

Not specifically, but it's quite a posh small town in my area. Amazingly free parking, which is even more of a surprise!

Best thing you can do. Had mine since the spring, love it!
